Rationale Low capacity of the central serotonergic system has been associated with
impulsive behaviour. Both low platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity and the short (S) …

Background Impulsivity has been associated with serotonergic system functions. However,
few researchers have investigated the relationship between a polymorphism in the promoter …

The short (S) allele of the 5-HTT gene promoter region polymorphism (5-HTTLPR), in
combination with adverse environmental influence, leads to higher likelihood of depression …

Reduced serotonergic neurotransmission is implicated in impulsive behavior. We studied
the triallelic system of the serotonin transporter gene linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) …

Impulsivity is a risk factor for adverse outcomes and characterizes several psychiatric
disorders and risk for suicide. There is strong evidence that genetic variation influences …

The serotonergic pathway has been implicated in the pathogenesis of impulsivity, and
sensitivity to aversive outcomes may be linked to serotonin (5-HT) levels. Polymorphisms in …

Polymorphism at the serotonin transporter linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) has been
associated with neuroticism, increased risk for affective disorders and greater vulnerability to …

Although a number of studies have shown that human impulsive traits are associated with
indices of central serotonin function, few researchers have investigated the relationship …

The serotonin transporter promoter region polymorphism (5-HTTLPR) is associated with
neural response to negative images in brain regions involved in the experience of emotion …

Growing literature indicates that emotional reactivity and regulation are strongly linked to
genetic modulation of serotonergic neurotransmission. However, until now, most studies …
